Parents need to know that the ghost stories in this '90s horror/fantasy series aren't gory and only rarely result in death, but they're guaranteed to send some shivers down the spine of kids who watch. Monsters, zombies, and ghosts are the central characters in the tales, and there's a lot of heart-pounding suspense when danger lurks in the shadows waiting to pounce. The show's evolving nature makes it difficult to predict each story's content, but expect some kissing and flirting between teens and brief peril (near drowning, vampire attacks) in their exchanges with the supernatural.
